When’s the last time you got a night out with the girls? Can’t remember? Here’s your annual checkup to make sure you fit that in. I look forward to the Momtrends Moms’ Night Out every year. Well, I look forward to any and all moms’ night out that may occur, but once a year, Nicole pulls all us New Yorkers together for one night. We’re moms – city moms –… Keep Reading

Can you ever have too many books? As an avid book reader (who also loves the feel of real books), I’m always looking for a new collection of reads for myself, and now the newest reader of the house – my first grader, Maximo. If you get sucked into buying new books as easily as I do, watching out – these books are totally perfect for the little readers in… Keep Reading
I still remember my first A&W Root Beer Float. A&W Root Beer was a favorite of dads, and he no regards when teaching me how to love and perfect the root beer float. Ice cold mugs, soda and vanilla ice cream because a special treat between just him and I over the years, and I remember watching him carefully scoop the ice cream into the tall frosty mugs only to… Keep Reading

Who doesn’t love the holidays as a kid. You look back and remember magical moments, twinkling lights and tons and tons of food. There was never a shortage of food. I still remember the food. We weren’t your “let’s sit down and eat” kind of family, it was more of a wild messy and chaotic pot luck. There were always tons of people in and out visiting all day, and… Keep Reading
Back-to-school. The time of year that moms start scrambling back to reality and trying to figure out just what they need – where IS that list from the school anyways?! Even though Max will just be starting kindergarten, I’ve learned over the last couple of years in “preschool” what necessities are, or as mom’s call in – survival. Don’t go crazy and Amazon Prime so much you spend more than… Keep Reading
When you look at these – I hope you see the immense pride I have in them being a NON-creative mom. I also post this to prove that yes you – YOU – can make these as well. Because, if I can get crafty – ANYONE can. Put me in the kitchen? Masterpiece. Put me in front of a craft store and a Pinterest page, you’re lucky if I come… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Duracell as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. When I was a kid, I remember having this blue clunky robot named Casey that would play cassette tapes. I would honestly play with it for hours, letting it play tapes of my favorite songs like Baloo from the Jungle Book while I would be doing some sort of other activity like sewing quilts or… Keep Reading
Since I am deep into hibernation mode, I actually have some time to sit down and talk to you. Hibernation for me = staycation in New York City for sixty days. For these two months I try not to travel any further than the Metro North, or LIRR can take me. There are no suitcases, and I always sleep in my own bed. It’s the opposite of traveling for some….
